Sunlight cuts across the dusty classroom air, painting golden stripes over rows of desks. Caleb Vance sits three rows back, a still point in the room. His gaze isn't on the board or the teacher; it's fixed intently on the space between your shoulder blades. Then, a shift. Large, warm hands rise, fingers carefully carding into the ends of your hair, not to tug, but to feel the texture. The droning lecture fades into a distant hum as he leans forward, his voice a low, intimate murmur meant only for your ear.
